That sucks. Same thing happened to me. New clutch and full tuneup within a few months of purchase. Total cost=$1200. Sounds like you bought a lemon like I did. Sorry to hear that, but once it works right, you will enjoy it.

alright so i figured out they put motor oil as the tranny fluid which some ppl do but could that be the reason it has grinded once or twice it just kinda weird ill go to 2nd and it will act like i mishifted and will stop before i get into the gear then i have to push it down in and it grinds only happened once or twice and its a brand new type-r tranny 1000miles on it bought it new... i went ahead and ordered some bg syncroshift II tranny fluid it was like 18bucks a quart but suppose to be good.. and ive like never raced her since i got the tranny

Just get genuine Honda tranny fluid for $4.50 a quart. The synchromesh fluid isn't good for Honda trannies and for that price, I wouldn't even bother.
